Abstract
Concerns have been raised about the quality of health services for people with antisocial personality disorder (ASPD). As part of a randomized trial of cognitive behaviour therapy for men with ASPD, we collected prospective data on service utilization over a 12-month period. Among the 52 men that participated, 96% had evidence of anxiety disorder and 64% met criteria for probable alcohol misuse. Almost half the sample presented to emergency medical services and 21% were admitted to a mental health inpatient unit during the following year. Despite this, only 11 (21%) were provided with follow-up care from mental health services. Levels of alcohol and drug misuse were lower among those that were given follow-up (27.3% compared with 63.4%, p < 0.05). Although services for people with personality disorder in Britain have expanded, most men with ASPD do not receive follow-up care from mental health services
